Some people actually watch the games, closely, while others just look at the goals and assists columns on nhl.com and then make their conclusions on said players.

You do not like this particular player, his salary, his religious beliefs...whatever. But you are wrong if you believe he is not an aggressive and effective skater, forechecker and hitter. Yup, his points total is disappointing over the 12 freaking games he has played this season, but given time he would've started lighting the lamp.
